.'OW COMES the
test between Val
ley league baseball
and the variety
played up-state.
Thursday the Mo
Pacs from Kings
ville who have
relied up an im
pressive string of
victories, will do
battle with tlie
San Benito Saints
fct San Benito. If you can get away,
this should prove an interesting
game, and one which will give us
an idea as to how our baseball
stacks up with that played in other
parts of the state.
EVERY team in the Valley circuit
is f ghting haid to stop the potent
San Benito outfit. But when the
Saints line up against the Mo-Pacs
the will have the full support of
the Valley circuit. Geo Desha
Topper Rigney, Harley Jackson and
the remainder of the. boys are pull
ing for the Sa nts to lay the strong
Mo-Pacs in the dust. The Saints
have pretty well proved that they
are cocks-of-the-walk in the Val
ley circles. When they step on the
diamond Thursday afternoon, they
will be more than a San Benito
team — they will be the Valley
team.
WITHOUT DOUBT. Lew William:
has gotten together a nine wlvch
might be compared to the old time
Saints. Of course, this will seem
like blasphemy to the older fans.
But many of the old boys will con
fess that the two nines rank some
where along the same plane. Lew
has a crew of sluggers which can
field with any other team in this
section. Rubber Campbell is a wow
of a third sacker. And his little
.400-and-better hitting mark does
not harm the club appreciably
Bishop Clements will get 'em on
shortstop where the rest w 11 miss
'em. His war club Is healthy
enough for the Texas league. Jodie
Tf.ylor is a clever, fast fielding
second sacker. As for his hitting,
one should never speak evil of the
dead. Cunnmgham'6 big war club
has punched -n many a Saint run
this reason. His fielding is good.
IN THE outfield, Williams has
McCauley, Courtney. Wallace, Wait
man and himself. McCauley, Court
ney and Wallace are heavy hitters.
In his hey-day, W lhams knew no
peer as a ball hawk and he was
perhaps the most dangerous man
who ever got on the basepaths in
the Valley. He still pilfers sacks
just to show his boys "how." Wait
man has a bad habit of catching a
bail with his eye every now and
then. Williams nforms us.

Of 15 Games
BY ORLO ROBERTSON
Associated Press Sports Writer
j But for the presence of the Wash
' ington Senators in the American
league, the New York Y'ankees
might be up there fighting the
Athletics for leadership. As it is.
however. Babe Ruth and Company
are batting in third position, ten
games back of the champions and
not much change of gaining
ground as long as they are
! scheduled to play Walter John
son's Senators.
The Senators have beat the
Yankees in 12 of their 15 meetings
this season. The Y’anks succeeeded
in breaking the Jinx yesterday but
I not until the Senators had won
; their seventh straight by taking
the first of a doubleheader 6 to 4
Babe Ruth hit his forty-first home
, run but that didn't help much
‘ when Walter Johnson's batters got
busv on Pennock and Johnson.
Charlie Ruffing was largely res
ponsible for the Yanks' 7 to 1
triumph in the curtain game. He
put his team out in front with a
homer in the second inning and
I then let the opposing batsmen
down with nine scattered hits and
' fanned the same number.
The Athletics failed to take ad
vantage of Washingtons even
break losing a 4 to 3 game to the
Boston Red Sox.
Detroit put over four runs in
the eight to give Earl Whitehill
his eight consecutive .ictory, the
, Tigers defeatng the Indians 5 tc
4. Three cf Clevelands four runs
were unearned.
The Giant and Robins furnished
another one of their spectacular
contests. A five-run rally in the
ninth sent the veteran Adolfo Lu
que to the showers and tied the
score. Two more were added in
the tenth but the league leaders
on Bill Walker for three runs and
the game in their half of the
frame. Bill Terry was the big gun
1 of the Giants attack, getting five
hits, including a homer, in the
ninth, to go into the National
League batting leadership.
The Cubs kept pace with the
Robins, scoring three runs in the
ninth to defeat the Cardinals 5 to
4 Bill Hallaham held the league
champions to two hits, one of
which was Hack Wilson’s thirty
six homer, until the ninth when
1 h« weakened and was forced to
retire in favor of Rem. who has
. charged with the defeat.
Fred Frankhouse held the Phil
[ lies to six hits as the Braves gave

"‘BIG’ MINORS
READY TO WAR
AA Leagues Will Not Bov.
Before Universal
Draft Rule
j CHICAGO, Aug, 6——The
, ‘‘Big'’ minor leagues—the Amertcar
1 Association, the Internationa]
League and the Pacific Coast
League—will go to war with th<
American and National league:
over the universal draft question
if they have to, but their member:
do not think it will be necessary.
Walter Hapgood. General Man
ager of the Montreal Club of the
International league, and chair
man of a joint committee to re
commend the three class A A
leagues' course of action, said that
representatives of the groups did
not believe the major leagues will
; "go back on the agreement made
at Kansas City in 1921. by refus
ing to carry on player relation:
after December 1.”
Hapgood also said that it was
universally felt among the mem
bers of the big minor groups, that
the trouble over the draft question
would be cleared up. but that they
would “go it on their own" if the
major leagues carried out their
threat to seven player relations
unless the universal draft is ac
cepted.
Members of the committee ap
peared yesterday, Hop good, Oscar
l J. Smith, president of the Toledo
I American Association Club, and
' Charles Graham, vice president ol
: the San Francisco Club of the
i coast league, said the three leagues
: were as much interested in the
renewal of the national agree
J mont—a pact between the clas:
AA leagues and other minor leagues
of lesser ranking—as in the major
draft ultimatum.
The national agreement expires
in September, and before it Is
renewed, the big minors wish a
J revision in the voting lineup. Hap
aood pointed out that the Interna -
I tional, American Association and
Coast league had the biggest in
j vestments, but are outvoted by the
! smaller circuits. Under the nation
al agreement, it would be possible
for the small minors to vote the
class AA loops into acceptance o!
the draft.
All three leagues have agreed tc
ignore the major league draft
ultimatum until it becomes neces
sary to take action in their own
interests. If the majors do sever
player relations after December 1
| it is likely that the class AA league:
will go out out to complete with
, the former in the open market
I for nlayer talent.
TEXAS LEAGUE HURLERS GET
THE BREAKS IN NIGHT BALL
By GAYLE TALBOT. JR.
Associated Press Sports Writer
If nothing else, night baseball has
provided the Texas league with
. more brilliant pitching perforin
! ances already than ordinarily
would be seen in a full season of
daylight play. The innovation un
doubtedly has worked to the ad
vantage of the hurlers, making up
I to seine extent for the handicaps
placed upon them in recent years
The latest striking example of
what a smart hurler can do in the
lights and shadows was given last
night at Houston, when old Wolbur
Cooper, recently acquired by the
San Antonio Indians when the
Shreveport management decided he
- had completed his pitching span
held the Buffs to two hits and wal

verdict early, bunching hits for twe
runs off Stout in the first inning
While Cooper was dazzling the

oach Ogan Will Open McAllen
Grid Training Camp on Monday
(Special to The Herald.)
McALLFN, Aug. 6—In what will
probably be one of the earliest
spring grinds to be staged at any
Valley high school this year in
preparauon for the coming winter
football season. McAllen high school
Bulldogs next Monday will begin a
stiff series of workouts under the
able tutelage of R. F. -Cowboy”
Ogan.
Ogan announced today his plans
l to open the spring school the first
of next weelf in order to have his
, "hocses” in running shape by the
time school opens here. Local
schools will begin work September
1 10.
On the firing line will be six vet
eran Bulldogs, all lettermen of the
eventful 1929-30 season in which
the McAllen football hope blossomed
i into a great bubble and then burst
in a memorable game on Cardinal
field at Harlingen. Included on
the roster will be Burcess Butch”
Stutzenbacker. tough tackle and
captain of this year’s team. Penny
Frisby. fleet halfback. Barney Jaek
| son. whom local sports pick to make
a bid for all-Valley honors at cen
j ter this season. George Karam,
! broad-shouldered line bucker, Har
i old "Bud” Earnest, pass snaring end.
and John "Big Boy” Hayse, the bev
who developed into a fine lineman
j during the latter part of the past
| season.
Captain ' Butch’’ will probably be
i designated as one of the pre-season
I tutors for a bunch of raw young
Bulldogs who will report this* sum
mer. He has already earned his
laurels as a competent first string
er and will probably not engag in
the first few workouts. Frisby will
probably grace the oval for several
laps each day during the first two
weeks, limbering up his driving pins
and getting in shape for the com
ing season. Along with him will be
! the tow-headed Jackson, a rare
young grid star, swarthy Karam.
•
Earnest and Hayse. All of thse
men, along with the recruits, will
go Into their first workouts for light
training during the first week, en
tering their attention on getting in
to football trim.
Youngsters who will come up to
the Bulldog camp from last season's
Valley championship McAllen Ju
nior High School Bullpups will be
Freddy Webb, cne of the fastest
sprinters in the Valley, Jimmy Ford,
a nice lineman. Roy Biggers. also
1 slated for the line, Amadio Garza,
nimble-heeled back, and Dale Snow
den, one of these brawny chested
farm bovs who is looked upon to aid
the Bulldogs in their title dash this
season. Of this group Snowden and
Webb have the best, chance of
clinching berths on the regular
so uad. Webb will no doubt be used
in the backlield and Snowden in
the line. Both are hard working,
promising gridmen.
With reports trickling in from
the Grapefruiters’ camp that the
Mission club will be out for revenge
Harlev Jackson .i McAllen Legicn
nairs are facing a tough assignment
here next Sunday, when they take
on Eddie Marburger's crew at Le
gion park. Two weeks ago the
Missionites forfeited their game to
the Lecionnaires because they
didn’t want to use the ball in play.
It was Umira'e O. C Emory’s de
cision that gave McAllen the game.
Upon a triumvirate of youngsters.
Jackson is basing his hopes of fin
ishing in the "first third" of the
Valley League this year. This trio
is composed of Johnny "Shinn"
Young Arthur Guerra and Walter
Langford, all still in their teens or
early twenties. Each has been
smacking the ball well of late. They
were the only McAllen hitters who
were able to fathom Darby's hot
shot at Saints park in San Benito
last Sunday.
Floating rumors have it that
Young, who made the all-Valley se
lection as a center from Edinburgh
high school s grid club last year, is
to attend school here this season.
Local fans hope the report Is true.
